We ran to the screen door, peeked cautiously out, Snuck onto the deck, then let out a shout. Guess what had woken us up from our snooze But a rusty old ute pulled by eight mighty roos. Christmas in the middle of the Australian summer means Santa has to find creative ways to deliver his presents. Yvonne Morrisons rollicking rewrite of the famous old poem Twas the Night Before Christmas gives the original version an hilarious Aussie twist.
